City of Reno Unveils New Educational Garden Signs at Valley Wood Park

The City of Reno is excited to unveil six new educational signs at Valley Wood Park in Northwest Reno. These signs highlight the park's gardens and pollinator habitats. This project was a collaboration between the City and the Valley Wood Wildlife Gardens Task Force, who help promote the importance of pollinators, native plants, and sustainable gardening practices to the public.

The new signs are featured in the following locations:

• Pollinator Meadow
• Hummingbird Garden
• Herb Meadow
• Food Forest
• Butterfly Garden and Pollinator Garden
• Native and Drought-Tolerant Garden

The Valley Wood Wildlife Gardens Task Force developed the idea for the new signs, made possible by a discretionary donation from Councilmember Kathleen Taylor. The signs were designed, fabricated and installed by City of Reno employees in the Parks and Recreation, Communications, and Maintenance & Operations departments.

"I'm so proud to debut these new signs at Valley Wood Park as they will provide opportunities for visitors to learn more about the park's habitats and pollinators," said Reno Mayor Hillary Schieve. "Thank you to everyone who came together to help keep this outdoor space vibrant and special for years to come."
